Wondering if Camden is just down the road from man lab/ other filming destination or if mr may has a liking for the place? As it's where they went for both the rockband and guitar playing segments from man lab.

Nice find, slfriend79! It's a lovely little clip with interesting body language. He seems to frequent the market a bit, as there have been a few tweets placing him there generally as opposed to this filming (unless he was researching?).

I went to Camden Market last autumn on my way to James' Canary Wharf signing (I had three hours to fill and simply asked my cab driver where he could suggest that was quirky) and I was totally overwhelmed by the atmosphere, the people, the stalls, the sounds, the smells, the food, the whole experience - and I bought a beautiful pendant from a stall where, when I asked about the possibility of a ring to match, I was taken to the workshop just round the corner where one was made for me. So I have very fond memories of the place.

Sorry, I'm rambling!

He's selling whelks? Sea snails? I've never had them but..I'm thinking..Yuck!

It must be related to his day whelking in Whitstable.

As far as I know, the Manlab itself is in South London, whereas Camden Market is North. It's a good location, though, and I assume the local authority make it easy to film there. Not every borough does.

It is a very food-orientated place - masses of stalls selling all sorts of ethnic foods. The smells are amazing.
